I found them to be kind of tough to watch, too pro-wolf.  Portrayed the hunters/ranchers as a bunch of Yosemite Sams.  Just my opinion though.  Too much emphasis on ecosystems NEEDING wolves and how they are the only predator that can do the job.

5 mins is all I had to see that's a joke stupid hippies.  I wouldn't mind if a pack of wolves found her.

A few of these "experts" ran into some trouble at a local watering hole while doing this documentary...........

You know it's funny that the British are involved, who are people who have devoided themselves of wildlife in their homeland. England, the true Elk farm.

That wolf howl they used on robo-wolf sounds like all the proposed Bigfoot vocalizations. I think people were hearing wolves instead of an unknown primate because people haven't been fully aware of how long wolves have been here.

 Didn't we kick them off this continent TWICE and bail them out on their own TWICE? What are they experts on again?

This documentary was made for the city people and others who have no clue, it has nothing to do with the truth

Is it statements that more people than not believe like "Wolves are the top predators" tat irk's you guys so bad? The idea that humans are not at the top? Just alittle inquiry into the human psyche.

[JimmyHoffa]

I would say they are members of a group of top/apex predators--which includes woofs, bears (grizzly and black), cougars and you could even say bobcats/wolverines ... and man.  These shows and woof huggers try to make it sound like woofs are the ONLY predator capable of killing deer/elk, and without woofs the ungulates will overpopulate.  Cougars kill PLENTY of deer and elk.  Black bears will be out killing plenty of calves/fawns in a couple months.  Grizzlies kill whatever they want.

Portrayed the hunters/ranchers as a bunch of Yosemite Sams.

These guys painted heir own self portraits.

BTW, what the meaning of 'JimmyHoffa' as your screen-name?

[JimmyHoffa]

Well, there's a lot of editing that can occur to get 30 seconds of someone that could've been interviewed for a couple of hours. So they needed to dramatize a documentary to have human antagonists pinned against underdog woofs.  Show the extremists from one side, but not the other......  Michael Moore wasn't even involved.
Screen name is because I often go missing for long periods of times somewhere in the woods.

Hard to believe we could come off sounding like a bunch of Yosemite Sams... 

[DIYARCHERYJUNKIE]

These people can't be reasoned with.  They made a one sided documentary about the plight of the wolf.  That's it.  The evil music they played duiring yosemites rant and then the peaceful birds chirping and nature sounds when the first lady is talking.  Come on you generalize us with them cause of the term stupid hippes.  Don't influence there one sided argument by putting us all in one group like themcause of a simple statement.  Or you wont be huntin yotes no more.  Not in Washington.
